The Lime Kiln in Wildrose Canyon, Death Valley National Monument (now Death Valley National Park) is part of the Wildrose Charcoal Kiln Complex. The ten conical shaped charcoal kilns stand near the head of Wildrose Canyon on the west slope of the Tucki Mountains. This subject of this report, the Lime Kiln, is built into the hillside and located behind and about 30 feet to the northeast of the fourth charcoal kiln from the south. The need for Cyclic Ruins Maintenance was recognized in 1977 and the work was delayed until June of 1979. This report describes the maintenance work performed between June 5 and June 8, 1979, including accomplishments, techniques, notes on earlier stabilization work, project training and tools, and maintenance recommendations. Copies of photographs and correspondence included.
